Kindred Announce the Departure of CFO Johan Wilsby

Kindred Group, a leading gambling operator, has shared news of the forthcoming departure of its Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Johan Wilsby, who will vacate his position later this year.

Having held the CFO role at Kindred since September 2020, Wilsby has decided to step down from his role towards the end of 2023. The process to find and appoint his successor is already underway.

Remarkable Performance

Kindred’s performance in 2023 has been nothing short of remarkable. The firm’s profit before tax skyrocketed by 300% according to Q1 results, yielding a profit of £30.4m ($37.9m). This impressive financial display was followed by an upswing in Kindred’s share price, which climbed to SEK 124.50 ($12.07) post the announcement of the Q1 review, signalling a robust start to the year.

Kindred has also successfully forged a partnership with Booming Games. This partnership will facilitate the launch of Booming Games’ slots in Sweden, the Netherlands, and several Eastern European countries in the coming months.

Further expanding its operations, Kindred announced the launch of its proprietary Kindred Platform in New Jersey, preceding a planned roll-out in Pennsylvania.

Exceptional Leadership

Reflecting on Wilsby’s impending departure, Kindred Group’s CEO, Henrik Tjärnström, said: “Johan has played a pivotal role in shaping the corporate function of Kindred, spearheading strategic execution, and contributing significantly to the executive leadership team.”

Tjärnström concluded by lauding Wilsby’s commendable efforts, saying, “He has been an esteemed colleague, showcasing exceptional leadership and integrity during challenging times. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Johan for his invaluable contributions and wish him all the success in his future endeavours.”
